Tomatin distillery has been producing and blending malt Scotch Whisky since 1897. At its peak in the 1970s, Tomatin was the largest distillery in the world operating 23 stills and producing 12 million litres of alcohol every year. In 2000, Tomatin’s strategy began its transformation from producing bulk whisky for use in major blended whisky brands to focusing on producing single malt Scotch Whisky for itself and in turn promoting and growing the Tomatin brand in its own right. In 2002 the number of stills was reduced to 12 and it is now, in 2021, comfortably producing 2m litres of alcohol annually.
